    Speculation: Morey's FA Target #1 is... Zombie Wilt Chamberlain?

    I figured if CH is going to throw around speculations, so will I.

    Wilt Chamberlain's corpse should still be relatively fresh. His exhumed corpse should still have all his vital organs and muscles. Wilt Chamberlain's corpse is a FA, so the Rockets would be able to sign him without giving up any of our players. As a zombie, Wilt Chamberlain's corpse would not suffer from fatigue and unlikely to get injured.

    I don't really see why we'd get Dwight or CPS, Wilt Chamberlain's corpse is more likely to sign with the Rockets.

    Its funny reading you peoples Christmas wishlist of DH or CP3 leaving their Big Market/Playoff Teams to come to Houston but honestly I do think Howard will leave LAL

    I find it hard to see how anyone can watch him go Super Emo Cutting Myself Dwight after a loss (like last night) and then blame his team mates for not picking up his slack on defense (like he did last night) and then say, "Hey that's the guy I want for my team full of young players!"

    Not that the notion of him coming to Houston has any merit, but he's really where he belongs. He gets all the attention he craves and if they fail you blame it on the team/coach for not meshing all those superstars together well. Where else can he get that?

    Dwight bailing on the Lakers at the end of the season may NOT be as far fetched as some folks think....

    I can just imagine the GARM if we had Dwight.

    "Why does McHale keep telling Lin to pass the ball to the big man. Dwight is clogging the lane."

    Why is Dwight Howard not making free throw?

    This player is not a very good player.

    Two things..

    Would he be willing to leave the big market city of Los Angeles for Houston?

    Would he take lesser money to play for another team since the Lakers can offer him a contract bigger than any one else could?

    TBF, they are missing a key component that would make Pringles' offense work - Steve Nash

    If I were D'Antoni, I would hire a freethrow one-on-one instructor to mentor DH on FTs until he's at least 70%. Everyone is going to jump on the Hack-a-Howard bandwagon including us if necessary (not saying I'm proud of this, but it's a tactic that does have good results).

    "Dwight's like a black-hole. Once Lin passes him the ball, he never passes back out, all he does is try and score down low, leaving Lin to hang around like an unnecessary appendage. It's a huge waste of Lin's talent. Howard's just not a good fit."

    You're right. I live with someone who suffers a lot from AD and is BP, so I'm a little sensitive to the misconceptions of overly-opinionated people. However, she has a sense of humor unlike RW and I kinda joke around with a very touchy subject when I should be more careful.

    Mea culpa - I should know better #Shamed

    Yah, don't see that happening.

    If Lin is passing to Dwight, it's so Dwight can score... not so he can playmake.

    Does anyone think Dwight will be bringing the ball up the floor? That would be quite the sight... :grin:

    Sounds like Howard+CP3 to DAL incoming if this LAL thing doesn't work out. It's going to be fun knocking them out of the playoffs two years in a row with Lin+Asik. It's going to be a lot of fun. It's too bad that Lin+Asik will be in LAL for the next LAL dynasty in 3 years.

    ;)

    I don't want him he is a cry baby that don't play hard every night and refuses to work on his free throws. Not only that but it would take our whole team to get him and and set us back 3 yrs. Then back problem shut down mode begins again.

    I will Asik and destroy Morey if they go after Howard...

    We already have a non-diva big man that is willing to learn and only will get better...

    Ill take Asik over Howard...

    most of you will think im nuts... but I think Asik has done more developing in the small sample size of games we see...

    than Howard has done his whole career...

    if Howard worked on getting more post moves in his offensive game...and worked on getting his head straight he could have been listed among the greats for sure...

    why are the last 3 posters talking about just Lin...

    he will eat up Hardens passes too..

    but in Howard defense he has never had a problem in passing the ball out...

    in fact... I feel he passes it out too much

    If your big is any good he should expect double teams... and should be able to beat them
